Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of soaking devices, in particular to a soybean soaking device for tofu processing. Background Art

[0002] The traditional tofu production process begins with soaking soybeans to soften them, grinding them into a slurry, filtering the dregs to separate them, and then steaming the slurry. A coagulant is then added to gelatinize the soybean protein to form tofu.

[0003] Most existing soybean soaking devices are not equipped with a detection mechanism. During the soaking process, it is impossible to detect the softness and hardness of the soybeans to know the soaking status of the soybeans. The only way is to preset a time before soaking and pick them up when the preset time is reached. However, since the quantity and quality of each batch of soybeans vary, the required soaking time will also be different. Therefore, it is impossible to flexibly adjust it, which affects the soaking work. Utility Model Content

The only way is to preset a time before soaking and pick them up when the preset time is reached. However, since the quantity and quality of each batch of soybeans will vary, the required soaking time will also be different, so it cannot be flexibly adjusted, which affects the soaking work.

The detection column is fixedly arranged on one side of the interior of the detection box, the detection platform is fixedly arranged inside the detection column, the detection head is movably arranged on the top of the detection platform, and the top of the detection head is connected to the output end of the electric push rod;

[0007] The material guiding assembly includes a solenoid valve, an extraction pipe and a return pipe. The input end of the extraction pipe is connected to the inside of the soaking barrel, and the output end of the extraction pipe is connected to the detection column. The solenoid valve is fixed on the periphery of the extraction pipe, the input end of the return pipe is connected to the bottom of the detection column, and the output end of the return pipe is connected to the inside of the soaking barrel.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] After the solenoid valve of the utility model is started, the soybeans closest to the extraction tube in the soaking barrel are extracted through the extraction tube and transported to the detection column. The soybeans entering the detection column fall on the detection table. Immediately after the electric push rod is started, the detection head is driven to descend until it contacts the soybeans on the detection table. The hardness of the soybeans can be calculated by contacting and squeezing the soybeans through the pressure detection sensor in the detection head. The soaking status of the soybeans can be clearly known through the detection data displayed on the control panel, which is convenient for the staff to accurately control the soaking work of the soybeans. The staff can also preset a critical value. When the detection value is greater than the preset value, the signal is transmitted to the prompt device or linked to control the operation of other electrical equipment through the remote transmission module, such as opening the drain valve for automatic drainage or stopping the agitator for stirring, etc., thereby increasing the automation effect of the soaking work of the device.
